Level 1&2 – The Fundamentals of Iyengar Yoga: Our Level 1&2 classes emphasize the fundamentals or basics that lay the foundation for a safe, intelligent, and more powerful future practice. The Level 1&2 courses teach the basic standing poses, sitting postures, and beginning inversions. All students new to Iyengar yoga need begin in either Level 1&2 OR in Slower yoga.

 

The Hallmarks of learning Iyengar Yoga are:

  • the emphasis on creating good, safe alignment in every pose.
  • the use of everyday props to give stability, prevent overstretching, and allow the student to do poses with better alignment.
  • Intelligent sequencing which properly prepares students for more advanced and intricate practices without fear of injury.
  • Responsive teachers who can give alternative poses to those who need them.

Course fees are $68-$85 per month for a 4 week month or a 5 week month provided you register by the last class of the current sessions class. (usually 7 days before the start date of the course except when there are holidays or closures).

There is a $5 late fee for those that register after the last class of the current month.

8-9 Week Courses are $136-$145 when registered early or $5 more when registered late.

Iyengar Yoga is considered the Gold Standard of Yoga Systems with a considerable degree of emphasis on creating good alignment in every pose and the development of awareness of how to practice well and appropriately.
